Hello, and welcome to the Crown Nursery blog.
Well, the title just says it all - this is the most wonderful time of the year.
The lovely plants pictured above are looking so nice in the sun as I write.
A real white frost this morning - but the March sun has power now - and it is soon all gone.
From the left-hand side - the photos are -
Magnolia stellata - those lovely star-like flowers with their strap-like petals and a sweet scent - what more could you ask for? We have some large specimens here at the moment - smothered in juicy flower buds.
Clematis armandii - the Queen of climbing plants. One of the few that are evergreen - with large glossy foliage - and clusters of sweetly-scented creamy white flowers now starting to appear. Give it a south or west-facing wall and it will be happy as larry!!
Chaenomoles 'Nicolene' - a recent cultivar of the old Japonica or Flowering Quince. Always reliable, no matter what the weather - and in March profuse clusters of the loveliest red flowers - a really strong colour in amongst all that yellow from the Forsythia and those daffs!! Just what you need!
These are just a few of the many delights looking good at the nursery at the moment - there are so many other items coming into their moment of glory - I will try to mention as many as possible over the weeks and months ahead - but better still, why not come and visit us here at the nursery - we would love to see you!
Until next time,
Richard
